The Daison Pursley and the
link hidden, please login to view No. 9 team returned to action last week determined to bounce back following a challenging weekend in Arizona. The Kasey Kahne Racing team took on a three-race stretch across New Mexico, Texas and Kansas. The week kicked off Tuesday night at Vado Speedway Park in Vado, New Mexico, where Daison Pursley and the NAPA No. 9 team looked to regain momentum with the High Limit Racing series.
Pursley qualified 14th and lined up sixth in Heat 1, where he held position to transfer directly into the A-Main. After starting 17th in the feature, he was able to move forward a few positions, bringing the NAPA No. 9 home with a 14th-place finish to get the team back on track.
After a few days to regroup and fine-tune the car, the team unloaded with speed on Friday night at Route 66 Motor Speedway in Amarillo, Texas.
Pursley laid down the ninth-fastest qualifying lap, earning a front-row starting spot in his heat race. He led early and finished second, securing the eighth starting position for the A-Main.
In the feature, the NAPA No. 9 showed strong pace throughout the night. Pursley worked his way forward, battling inside the top five and contending for a podium position before ultimately finishing fourth. The performance marked a strong rebound for the team and reinforced the speed within the program.
Saturday’s High Limit Racing event at Dodge City Raceway Park was canceled due to extreme winds, prompting the NAPA No. 9 team to pivot and head down the road a few hours to compete with the World of Outlaws at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas.
Against a stout, 38-car field, Pursley qualified eighth in Group B and advanced from fourth to third in his heat race to secure a transfer into the A-Main. Starting 12th in the feature, he battled mid-pack throughout the race and brought the NAPA No. 9 home in 13th.
Following the busy stretch, the team has returned to the shop in North Carolina to regroup and prepare for the next wave of the High Limit Racing season. The series heads back to Kansas in the second half of April, starting with Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City on April 17.
Start / Finish:
Tuesday, March 24, Vado Speedway Park: 17 / 14
Friday, March 28, Route 66 Motor Speedway: 8 / 4
Saturday, March 29, 81 Speedway: 12 / 13 (World of Outlaws)

Ride control is a broad term. It refers to anything that controls and affects the operation and reaction of the suspension to road conditions, including the springs, shocks and struts. For many years, changing the ride control aspects of a vehicle meant at minimum, physically changing the shock absorbers with units that had different internal valving.
This altered suspension performance to match what the vehicle owner was after, which was typically a modification to match the suspension with the use of the vehicle, for example off-road or racing. The biggest problem is you were stuck with the characteristics you ended up with until you switched back to the original components.
Then, in the 1990s, adjustable valve shocks and struts became popular. These systems had two or three comfort and sport settings that could be changed with buttons on the dash. These systems played the role of firming up the suspension if the driver wanted a sporty feel while driving.
But technology never slows down, and for years now, many auto manufacturers have been utilizing continuously variable dampening systems, referred to as continuous damping control (CDC) in their vehicles. There are many different names for this type of suspension depending on the vehicle manufacturer, but it’s often generalized as active suspension or active ride control.
These systems have evolved to the point where they utilize electronically controlled valving to actively change dampening characteristics in milliseconds to control the compression and rebound of a shock absorber or strut.
By utilizing this high level of control, there are many benefits over a traditional system including enhanced driving comfort, improved handling and cornering, precise tracking during acceleration and shorter braking distances, all of which adds up to improved safety.
To give you an example of just how precise these systems can be, they can increase rebound when a pothole is detected by either the suspension displacement sensors or a camera. This prevents the wheel from dropping down in the pothole and hitting the backside of the hole. For braking, a CDC dampener can increase compression in the front and increase rebound in the rear to prevent nosedive.
On old, electronically adjustable systems, there was typically a small stepper motor on top or on the side of the shock or strut that changed the size of the orifices in the piston or at the base. The compression and rebound were not independently adjustable.
Today, most new systems use coils and/or magnets to adjust rebound and compression in real time, which are sometimes called actuators or pulse motors. Most active ride control systems have their own module that might also control the air ride system, and most control each of the four dampening units individually. They need information to work like vehicle speed, steering angle and readings from the yaw and accelerometers, and they are often part of the stability control system.
When technicians are faced with diagnosing system problems, they have to look at the entire system, not just the dampeners, and scan tools are necessary for communication. While these types of shock absorbers and struts can leak like traditional units have in the past, diagnosing them requires specific knowledge and procedures related to the system being worked on.
For many years, a static test was an acceptable way to check shock absorbers. Performing one was as simple as bouncing the suspension and watching to see if the vehicle returned to ride height without any continued motion. This type of test isn’t valid on a vehicle with active suspension since the variable valving on these dampers is dependent on speed and vehicle dynamics. It’s best to follow manufacturer information and procedures to assess system condition.
One thing that hasn’t changed is shock or strut replacement. The process is virtually unchanged with the exception of disconnecting a wiring harness connector, and the age old rule still applies: replace these shocks or struts in pairs.
